Is there a such thing as too big of an enclosure for a JCP?

I'm currently in the process of moving, and once we get settled in my girlfriend is giving me a room specifically for my scaled friends! I have been doing a lot of thinking about transforming a medium-large sized entertainment center into my JCP's new home, and I was wondering if that would be too big for her? My goal with this project is to make a whole "mini" jungle inside of it, go balls to the wall and make an outstanding looking, and a comfortable home for my baby. Does anyone think that would be too big if I were to make that? And you can all bet there will be pictures of the whole build once the time comes! Thanks!

I don't think you can ever go to big with a carpet as they will more than likely use it all and you could always keep a couple in there. You are just going to have to think about how you heat it and there will be a bit of trial and error I'm sure to ensure you get the temps that you need. How big are you thinking?

My adult female JCP is in a 4x2x4. When breeding I just add Mic. Lots of room to share.
Not to big at all.

I'm thinking about 5'W x 2'D x 6'H And I won't be breeding her, she's just my pretty snake to look at and hold. As far as heating, I'm sure there will be A LOT of trial and error lol

If you don't want to breed just have 2 females instead
